Abstract:
Recent technological advances and related societal issues have led to a surge of attention towards the concept of “face recognition”. I argue that the most important facet of face recognition — identity processing — is not a solved problem. On the contrary, it is a typically underestimated, highly complex skill that our brains have developed to efficiently master. Using examples of ongoing work in my group, I argue that studying face identity processing can do more than advance our understanding of human cognition and its neural basis. It can support the development of human-machine interactions, and facilitate an inter-stakeholder exchange necessary to maintain trust in institutions, and enable innovative research opportunities.
